It’s been a long, long time since I have blogged. The last time I truly recall is around 2006 using livejournal.com, which I am impressed is still floating around these days. I actually tried to revive my old LJ but it was unsurprisingly purged.. I believe I pulled off all of my blog posts using an app called ljarchive as my words were more important than anything else. Perhaps some time I will open Pandora’s box and review… if I even can!
I feel the need now to revive blogging as I have not had significant human contact aside from my wife and immediate family for about 7 months or so now due to pandemic-induced mandatory WFH, and I get the impression it may be slowly eating away at my mental health. I have played with the idea of getting a therapist as well as with the idea of attempting to revive my Facebook. Ultimately, I decided on building a blog. It seems a good enough method as any to express myself, even if it is to the internet, a faceless amalgamation of all people. Somehow, in my head, it will help. Time will tell.
Additionally, I have been out of the web development game for a while, and just came to realize that WordPress is a real thing now. I have always been tech savvy so I said hey, let’s give it a try. I like learning new things.
We will see if this takes root… or gets dropped like my last hobby!
